Quote:
A Chinese novelist has gone where no Asian writer has gone before.
Liu Cixin - author of The Three-Body Problem, a science fiction novel depicting an alien civilisation's invasion of earth during the Cultural Revolution - has taken the prize for best novel at the Hugo Awards, a prestigious series of international literary prizes for sci-fi and fantasy.
The announcement on Sunday by the 73rd World Science Fiction Convention in Washington made the 52-year-old power plant engineer the first writer in Asia to win the award.

Completely well-deserved! A flawed yet brilliant trilogy (Note: the prize was won by the 1st book, the 2nd book was just released in the US two weeks ago, and the 3rd book has yet to be translated) that no hardcore or casual sci-fi fan should ever miss!
